The Mechanical Engineering Department, its faculty,
alumni, students, and staff marked the 100th birthday
of Mechanical Engineering at the California Institute
of Technology with a Symposium and Celebration on March 30–31,
2007.

The program on Friday, March 30, 2007 included a reprise of some
of the design competitions and undergraduate SURF presentations as well
as a research poster session featuring graduate and undergraduate research
achievements. Faculty speakers described current research
efforts. A banquet at the Athenaeum followed. Saturday
was devoted to talks from a group of very distinguished alumni.

With this project in mind, we ask that alumni and friends consider writing up an anecdote or two or digging out some old photographs and sending them to
(telephone 626-395-4107, MC 104-44). If you do send old photographs
please append a caption describing the event and naming the people. Please
also include a mail address so that, after scanning, we may return the
photograph to you.
